Radicchio & Duck with Tonnato – Another Day in Paradise

I forgot to shoot salting the duck but it happened.

Ingredients:
Duck breasts
Radicchio
3 tbsp balsamic vinegar
Capers
Extra virgin olive oil (EVOO)
Salt, to taste
1 jar of tuna in oil
Confit garlic with oil
4 anchovy fillets, drained
1 hard-boiled egg Juice of a lemon

Instructions:
Lightly oil and season the radicchio with salt then sear in a hot pan until charred.

Cover the charred radicchio with balsamic vinegar and let it marinate.

For the tonnato sauce, blend confit garlic, tuna with its oil, anchovy fillets, hard-boiled egg, lemon juice, and olive oil until smooth.

Score the fat on the duck breasts and season then cook starting in a cold pan with the fat side down bringing to a medium/high heat. Flip when golden brown and finish cooking in the oven.

Fry the capers in the rendered duck fat until crispy.
Separate the radicchio leaves and toss them with the marinated balsamic before serving.

You can heat everything up or serve it at room temperature with the warm duck. (I prefer it at room temperature).

  1. The craziest combo I’ve seen yet. Can’t even begin to imagine what that all tastes like together but maybe one day I’ll be arsed enough to give it a go!

    Love the content x

  2. Usually, "tonnato" sauce is used with veal because veal doesn't taste strongly, so the tuna completely overpowers the veal and that's the point.
    Duck is very tasty though, so I wonder how well two strong notes like duck and tuna go together. I'm assuming it's delicious. I've had steak with oyster sauce before and it was incredible.
    Here I think the radiccho will serve as a "palate cleanser" to lower the impact of the tuna sauce.
    This looks amazing.
    Minus one point for using the oil from the jar.
    I know you don't want to be wasteful but c'mon.

  3. Yo I really love your videos. And I'm waiting for the day when your account is blowing Up. Because THIS is some creative, delicious stuff yet simple, and really is a inspiration to try out new things. Keep up the great work ♥️

  4. I love your vids but am I being stupid or do you not post recipes for most of your stuff? It would be great if you did/if you can redirect me if I've missed these

  5. Looks interesting but the duck is juicier if you just score the skin and don't cut the flesh.
